beautiful catalina with the new hipstomatic app

...... upon returning from a shower Maggie took over the bed.

guess a quickie nap before work was out of the question ;)

...better late than never...

it has been awhile since i posted but better to do it now than never at all :)

been a crazy/not so great few weeks. first off with job hunting, 'dates' with boy, and i'm starting to work on a short that i will direct. a friend will be writing while i do everything else. i'm excited! the story thus far is not as strong as it should be but i'm planning on making the execution entirely worthy..

my love, andrew garfield (netflix "Boy A"), has been cast as the new spiderman!

can't beat pink

til next time.. happy 4th!

rule of 3's

you know how they say bad things happen in 3's. such as the big celebrity deaths: mj, p.swayze, and the lovely charlie's angel. well i received a red light camera ticket (nearly $600!) 2 weeks ago and today my tire blew out. what will happen next?

on other news, i'll be house/pet sitting for a girlfriend this weekend. two adorable little chihuahuas. you'll be seeing pictures soon!

another thought, i was looking at pictures from college and high school yesterday, and in an endeavor to "find myself" i started noticing a consistent pattern (even if I don't remember it now or notice it at the time). even when i was a welcomed into the stereotypical popular crowd i still felt like an outsider. one time i was dating a guy who was part of that crowd, some of girls had asked me to get ready with them for a prom-like banquet. while they were giggling in the bathroom curling their hair and putting on sparkly, barely there dresses I was playing games on my cell. i've always desired to be a part of that group but why? because they always seemed so effortlessly happy. so i'm forever on the outside looking in..... cliche, yes. perhaps that's why i'm never happy where i'm at. the grass is always greener, so to speak. thoughts?

fate

so i've been looking for a new job for the past few months with no such luck. the single piece of consistent advice I've been getting (other than to start all over again and take a different path) is to stop pushing so hard, to let things happen naturally, to let the perfect job or the perfect man (etc) happen by accident. but at what point do we stop pushing ourselves hard in order to reach our goals or talk to every person imaginable in case someone may know of that perfect job... and so I wonder, shouldwe stop taking action in our own lives in order to let fate take over, or is the saying true: we make our own fate?

attempting adventures...

they did say that only one out of the four of us would fall in.. guess who did!

(email me if want to see video... yes there's video!)

the chalk man is back!

blogged too soon...

my friday started out winning a tivo on the radio,

and ended with getting a notice of a traffic violation costing me over $500...

why must the bad always come with the good?

KROQ~~

nabbed the last chocolate muffin

and most of all the beauty that is the ocean... go see OCEANS

have a wonderful weekend!

p.s. is the overly cheeriness fooling anyone?

always look on the bright side of life...

when you're sad, when you're mad... just think of the things that make you glad ;)

yes, little kitties stuck in tea cups make me smile,

but the thing that makes me most happy

is when a single praise reminds me of all I have accomplished

despite the many hardships and obstacles

and then there's hope in me once again!

what brightens up your day?

randoms...

found a few pictures I thought i'd share as it has been awhile since i've posted.

will be posting more regularly from now on.

:-)

have a happy week everyone!

luck o' the irish

happy st. pattys day!

lots of love,

pink elephants

just saw "Remember Me"

can't remember the last time I cried so hard in the theater or even to a movie for that matter...

i certainly won't give away the ending but only say what I took away from it...

tragedy comes in many forms but running away from it does not make it disappear. ignoring it will not make it disappear. the giant pink elephant will always return to bite you until it learns to stay away. yeah the movie had nothing to do with that last part but sometimes all we need is one little bite to open our eyes... no no, i'm not high. only high on life (chaching!)....

meet crabby maggie

this little sourpuss here I adopted 2 years ago from a rescue agency at the tender age of 10.

she was abused and neglected by her previous owner and has

spent a few months in a cage at a vets office.

her story broke my heart knowing that no one else would ever take in a

10 year old traumatized cat. no one in her life would ever love her. can you imagine never feeling loved?

so here we are 2 years later: she still refuses to come out from under my bed, she hates people, most especially me (when I'm awake) and enjoys spilling her food all over my floor as an odd way of marking territory, or else laziness.

and YET she wakes me up every morning by eating my hair.

yes, you read correctly, she eats my hair.

meet my maggie the crabby...

i'm scuba certified!!!

this is my first time scuba diving in the ocean off Catalina Island...

Learning to SCUBA

love the water

love the dolphins

so why not swim with them?

at least that was my reasoning for becoming scuba certified...

first is learning to equalize as you go deeper so that you don't... implode

no i'm not praying to not drown but rather applauding my own success ;)

almost done with certification!

more to come...

happy singles day!!

valentines day, or singles awareness day, at Bodega with a fun group of gals and

a walk down the 3rd street promenade.

then was coerced to see the movie valentines day.

painfully awful!

according this movie the love of your life is right under your nose, you just

have to open your eyes and there they are.

if only real life were that easy.

first public display of remember me!

beautiful story.

you will cry your eyes out at the end.

i wonder...

as i sit here drinking a glass of dahlia's pinot noir (mmm), i wonder how long it takes for one to become what they believe... is acting really believing? or does the belief itself make one true?

instead i act for what is to come rather than what is...

one little step a day: the california light after a rainstorm can never be beat. even for a brief glimpse it will stay in the mind forever...

the bowl that is super

Why is it that guys assume that women are naturally bad at sports? Most are yes, granted, although there are plenty of guys who make Paris Hilton look like Peyton Manning.

My secluded little paradise...

Instead of the "game" there was this documentary on how the Titanic really sunk, and apparently, in the end, it was all the wireless operator's fault. It's amazing to think of the impact even the smallest of decisions can make...

beginnings..

There's a beginning for everything... hello.

A small town girl in a big time city.

LA mer... from suburbia to the seas.

Through my eyes, the world is beautiful. hello:)

Mysterious creatures will fill the room,

a midnight show just put on for you.

But still I fall from grace with this microphone,

how'd you find yourself if you never roam?
